My movie picks this week are 'Green Lantern' and 'Battle: Los Angeles'

It’s Wednesday, so today I give you my weekly list of movies that will open in theatres this week as well as a list of movies that will be released this week on DVD.

I hope this will serve as a useful guide as to what’s going on this week if you happen to be near a movie theatre or if you’re looking for something to drop into your NetFlix queue.

Movies that are scheduled to hit theatres this week include:

- Buck (PG, Documentary, Special Interest): Directed by Cindy Meehl and starring Buck Brannaman.

If I could only watch one movie at the theatre this week, it would be “Green Lantern,” and if I had to pick just one DVD to rent this week, it would be “Battle: Los Angeles.”
